lol @ the girl's brother's chuunibyou! (the website) Going to the beach with her parents and her friends. Megane girl is somehow awkward in front of newly added friend because she's too shy. WTF @ that muscular guy. She changed to that tomboyish girl to scare him. The little fox reminded her of what I was afraid of, so she changed back. The excuse hurt her, though. Because they want to be each other, something happened (I only know that the power is going out somehow and the god is in pain because they are connected). I want to know what happened!

Shit got real at the end. Poor Uka. These girls are making her suffer.

Why didn't they show us what Touka did. It looked like he was going back at that moment :(

For the main bulk of the ep nothing special just some yuri drama lol XD

It started ok but the more into it, the more I got bored. I almost fell asleep during the final moments of Sumizome's lesbian drama...

Hope they'll focus on Touka & Uka again, this yuri stuff is so meh.

So Suzuomi was jealous of Inari while the opposite for her. Inari's powers are gonna transfer to Suzuomi??? Uka is suffering TwT.

Was hoping to see more of Tanbabashi and I wish to see more Touka and Uka moments.

I hope Touka saves Uka!!!!

That would be romantic, but the only thing that can really save Uka is for her powers to be returned before Inari drains them completely.

It's already been hinted in the last episode ;)

Good character development episode. You can't be friends without letting out how you really feel about them y'know. Group dynamics 101.

And that Maru-Sumi conflict is normal for girls their age (heck any age tbh). For Maru, she feels like she's going to lose her place now that Sumi's entered the picture (and quite abruptly at that). For Sumi, she never really had a place to call her own. She's jealous of Inari because she wants to be by Keiko's side but she thinks it's already occupied by Inari-- who made it possible for Sumi to be 'friends' with Keiko and that's the reason why she's disgusted by herself.

- Lol, I'm enjoying the humor in this show so much. Touka has chuunibyou. XD

- Creepy buff dude is creepy

- Maru was being melodramatic. Have some more faith in your friends, too; they've shown how much they value you. I'm glad that it was relatively easy for her to reflect and realize this, though.

- The drama didn't quite sit right with me. Everyone's emotions seemed overplayed when the stakes of the issues at hand weren't all that high.

That ending has me worried. I think Sumizome has set off a bad chain of events because of her wish to be Inari.

Inari's transformation into Keiko has done more harm than it has good. Inari obviously doesn't think things through too well before she makes a transformation. Thankfully, that adorable little Kon is a voice of reason.

Perfect example of what one sees on the outside can be totally different from what is going on inside. I would've never guessed that Sumizome felt jealousy over Inari.

Buff guy was hilarious!! The way he screamed like a girl and then ran away like one almost caused me to laugh out a lung!

My thoughts exactly.. I'm all for romance, but all the drama is getting a bit boring. Nothing seems to be getting resolved, and each episode shifts which love interest they focus on. For such a short series they shouldn't be trying to focus on so many relationships.

I love this show! This episode had such great character building for all four of the girls. You really feel like you are getting to know them at this point. I love the moment when Maru realizes that Sumizome is really a nice girl, after Keiko tells her that if she can put up with her Sumizome shouldn't be a problem at all! I also love the role reversal with Sumizome being jealous of Inari. Both of them want to be someone else: Inari wants to be the type of cute girl that Tanbabashi is attracted to (even though she is and just doesn't know it) and Sumizome wants to be able to be friends with everyone the way Inari is, and she wants to be admired and fawned over by Keiko the way Inari is. (I personally love the yuri drama. That is one of the features of this manga/anime that sets it apart from the shoujo manga that it so resembles and puts it firmly into the seinen camp. You don't see a serious yuri sub-plot in a shoujo romance unless it is ALL yuri. Having a realistic yuri subplot to go along with the standard het and goddess/human romantic plot lines adds to the appeal of Inari Kon Kon!)

That ending was a great place to break the episode. Seeing Inari's borrowed Divine power going out of control and Uka suffering from it... Can't wait for the next episode! (I wish there were more than 10)

They are middle school girls! My daughter, who is in 7th grade this year, when she got to the point in Madoka where Kyubey explains how the Magical Girls really work, totally agreed with it, while being slightly offended at the same time. Middle school girls are the most unstable creatures on the face of the earth, with the possible exception of late high school/college age men who have never had a serious girlfriend. (Like Inari's brother, for instance...)

The bits of drama felt out of place this episode. I saw it coming, but it seemed to happen rather quick. Overall the characters were all still nice and the episode was good.
